On the road again

[chani]

After Amman we hit the road to visit the whole country...In 3 weeks we must have seen almost every sites and reserves of Jordan!

Basically we first went North, but our first stop was in Iraq..............el-Amir

 

Iraq el-Amir, or Qasr el-Abd, is a small castle, built in 2nd Century BC,  famous for its Lion....

 

....not for that woman even though she's a Leo!

 

Obviously I didn't take that picture...and for once my friend didn't screw up...probably because I gave him the directions. Eventually I almost look like myself on that photo. So for those of you who had never seen me well...hi!

After Iraq we went to Jerash (Gesara) that is probably the most beautiful site of Jordan behind Petra.

Before the Romans took it over, Jerash was one of the cities that made the Decapolis. The remains are absolutely awesome.

Now let's enter the Macellum

Yes I know that woman is there again....

I didn't mean to show such cleavage, but I had already a sunburn on my back and I tried to protect the skin under the nape of my neck!

Now back on the cardo maximus

The Propylaea...

...and here's 3 columns of  Artemis' Temple

 

Are you bored yet?

Those were so beautiful! As were you, from your very nice eyebrows to your pretty painted toenails. And of course your boobies! Hee.

Really amazing shots - thank you for sharing them. Any signs of trouble or unrest on your trip?

I'm so glad to get to see you! What a knockout you are!

Post more! Such gorgeous pics. I want to travel for something other than business. I love seeing these, and I'm so glad you're back :-)

Fantastic BIG pictures. Lovely to see you *waves!!* Looks a wonderful place to visit... dunno if I could cope with the heat though!

Ah my sweet! Thanks for sharing (more please!). I am always in awe of what people accomplished without the trappings of modern technology. You are living my dream, honey, thanks for letting me come along virtually! (Yes, wanted to major in archeology until I realized nasty bugs and such were part and parcel of the field work *g*)...Social Anthropology is more bug free and friendly...

Look forward to more.

Love,
Kathleen
So glad you are home

Beautiful pics, Chani.

You look very much like Rachel Griffiths (Brenda on "Six Feet Under") in your photos.
Pretty!

I'm happy to know you had a good time.

Oh, here's Jerash!

Beautiful, everything there is amazing.

Now I am jealous. Show us more!

[kashmanik.livejournal.com]

Incredible pictures. As a kinda amateurish archaeology lover I'm insanely jealous. :-)

And hey, now I know what you look like!

It's all so pretty....

[anyasbuttmonkey.livejournal.com]

...I'm officially jealous of you, auntie :P

And I can add those to my steadily growing collection of pics of you... Maybe soon I can have a shrine!

Two of my favorite things...
